		Vermont Reads 2011 – To Kill A Mockingbird

		 

		The classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird was published 51 years ago, but still has deep meaning for modern America. In collaboration with the Vermont Humanities Council Vermont Reads program, VPR takes a close look at this enduring story and the issue of race relations. VPR News will examine this issue during a weeklong series on Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Listen for interviews, commentaries, excerpts from the book and stories starting on Monday, May 2. And on Wednesday, May 4, VPR’s Vermont Edition will air live from a local high school to hear students talk about the book and race relations in Vermont.
